Shannon has won a combined total of 148 International & National competition medals and about 70 of them were Gold Medals.

Miller is now President of Shannon Miller Lifestyle: Health and Fitness for Women, as well as an author, television personality, and host of Shannon Miller Lifestyle Radio presented by St. Vincent's HealthCare. She holds a BBA in marketing and entrepreneurship from the University of Houston and her law degree from Boston College.

Then, in January of 2011, Shannon was diagnosed with a malignant germ cell tumor, a form of ovarian cancer. She had the baseball sized tumor removed successfully and followed up with 9 weeks of chemotherapy for this rare germ cell malignancy. Shannon is currently cancer free and is expecting her second child this summer! With her story focusing on “life after cancer”, Shannon continues to be a strong advocate for early detection and making health a priority!
